At 11 o'clock at noon, in front of the T2 terminal of the Capital Airport, Chen Zhijun and Lei Tongren arrived on time with 13 team members. After unloading the equipment, I waited for a few more minutes, and the special car of the institute also stopped steadily at the parking zone. After Chen Zhijun and a few people stepped forward to help Professor Chen and his entourage unload all the equipment, everyone checked in for boarding passes and went through the security check together. After Professor Chen presented the letter of introduction stamped with the seals of multiple departments, all the equipment passed through the security check smoothly and was checked in.

After nearly three hours of flight, everyone arrived at the destination, which is a place that everyone has heard of, a famous tourist city, and many people in the team have been here. After the group took their luggage and equipment, they walked towards the exit, and before they reached the exit, they saw a person holding a sign from a distance, which read "Welcome Professor Chen". Lei Tongren asked Zhang Gong with a smile: "Uncle, shouldn't you write to welcome the Beijing archaeological team or research institute, why do they write like this?" It's really uncultured. ”

"You know what! This is for the sake of a low-key and specially explained, we can't make a noise, this water mound has been targeted, from now on, we must always be vigilant, understand? ”

"Ah, that means we're quite exciting this time, no, I'll call the old man, he's bored at home, so let him coordinate some troops to suppress the field!"

"You've got itchy skin, aren't you? Let him come and loosen it for you? Chaos! The local armed police, special police, and public security have all coordinated, because it is underwater, and the lake is quite large, and you Uncle Chen and I are mainly afraid that the bad guys will dive from other places, so it will be impossible to prevent it. ”

At the exit, Professor Chen walked up to the person holding the sign and said a few words, and then a nearly 60-year-old person on the side came forward to shake Professor Chen's hand, and asked Chen Zhijun to load all the equipment onto a box truck, and they took everyone to board the Yutong T7MPV business vehicle.

When they arrived at the car, Professor Chen introduced to everyone: "Comrades, this is Director Zheng of the Provincial Institute of Archaeology, this is Senior Official Liu of the Provincial Government, and in the co-pilot seat is Xiao Tian, the secretary of the Senior Official. ”

As soon as Lei Tongren heard that the senior official would pick up the plane in person, he immediately asked Zhang Gong excitedly: "Uncle, what level is it this time, and the senior official came to pick up the plane in person?" ”

"This is a high-ranking official, with your Uncle Chen here, which time is the level lower? However, our archaeological level this time is quite high, and if you don't get this project down, your expedition will become famous. ”

"The senior officials are also amazing, usually we take the initiative to ask others to do projects, how dare we want people to pick it up, we are all excited when they promise to give us a few minutes, alas, this is the gap."

"Don't be poor, listen attentively! Learn from your uncle this time! ”

Seeing that Professor Chen, Senior Officer Liu, and Director Zheng were chatting happily, Chen Zhijun looked at the scenery outside the window. The car roared through the city, looking at the still lush grass and trees outside the window, and then thinking that I could really participate in archaeology soon, I was extremely excited.

After about 20 minutes of travel, the car stopped in front of a five-star hotel. After everyone unloaded the equipment, they each received their room cards and entered the room with the equipment.

As the team leader, Situ Fang was invited to attend the meeting along with Professor Chen and Chen Zhijun, at which Director Zheng introduced the approximate location and size of the underwater tomb, but did not know anything else about the following. Then, Senior Officer Liu said: "This information still comes from a tomb robber, he inadvertently leaked his mouth after being caught, saying that this underwater tomb was targeted by a foreign tomb robbery gang, and he was ordered to go there to steal something, I didn't think that he was targeted from the moment he entered our province, and was arrested by our public security before he could do it, so we only grasped this information, since the tomb robbers have been eyeing this underwater tomb, then we must dig this in front of them." ”

After listening to Senior Officer Liu's words, Professor Chen asked, "Senior Officer Liu, did the tomb robber say that there is anything down there?" ”

"No, the tomb robber said that he was targeted by a tomb robber from a foreign country, and it is said that there are a lot of ancient jade below, and his purpose is to find the three-faced jade Buddha in the main tomb."

"How did he describe the Three-Faced Buddha?"

"He couldn't tell, so he confessed that he had eighteen hands and three faces."

"Oh, then he may be talking about Zhun Ti Guanyin, Zhun Ti Guanyin has 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, 32, 84 different Dharma phases, if the purpose is clearly to steal that, it means that there must be some special information on it; Most of the overseas tomb robbers are also Chinese, and after they go abroad to transform, they come back to rob tombs or smuggle cultural relics in the name of returning to China for investment, which is also the most feared, because they know almost everything, and even some have been living in China as overseas Chinese to carry out illegal and criminal acts; By the way, has this tomb robber explained what the mastermind behind the scenes is like? ”

"He didn't explain this, it was all a one-line contact, but he said that every call on the other end was an international call, and he spoke Chinese very well, and he was a woman."

"Now it means that our information is only to know the approximate location and scale of the ancient tomb, whose tomb is specific, and which age is unknown?"

"Yes, we have learned so much, and we also sent divers down to take a general look and saw the entrance to the ancient tomb, but we didn't act rashly, and the rest depends on you."

"Okay, so how is the implementation of the security work?"

"Now the whole lake is closed, the supplies are all in place, and all the guarantees are ready."

"What specific guarantees are needed for our team leader to implement, Team Leader Situ, you can communicate with everyone."

Situ Fang saw that Professor Chen had introduced himself, nodded with everyone and said steadily: "We don't need too much protection, first of all, you have closed the entire lake, that is to say, we have basically eliminated external interference when we work, this is the best guarantee, we have a professional underwater wired intercom system and video transmission system, which require stable power support, this is one of them; Since the water flow below is disordered, in order to be safe enough, we need to make a U-shaped water flow isolation board at the entrance, so as to ensure that our team members are not affected by turbulence and enter the ancient tomb safely, which can also prevent criminals from diving below through our regulatory loopholes, which is the second; We are all from special forces, there is nothing doubtful about the safety of life, the key is the cultural relics, we are the first time to carry out archaeological cooperation, this aspect needs professionals to follow up underwater to guide us, and Professor Chen and others are old, so we need you to arrange individuals to go underwater for coordination, this is the third; Although the temperature here is now in the more than 20 degrees, I just looked at the weather forecast, the next few days will be rainy weather, and the underwater temperature will be affected, so our team members' meals must improve the heat and quality; There is nothing else, nothing more than some trivial things such as lifting. ”

Senior Officer Liu patiently listened to what Situ Fang said, took the lead in applauding and said: "Sure enough, he was born in a special forces, and he said it concisely and in place, Zheng Suo, from now on, you are fully responsible for all the security work, and you must make every effort to protect the requirements of Professor Chen and his party, and must meet all the conditions they put forward, and strive to reveal this underwater secret as soon as possible." ”
